Chapter 84 Strongman Locks Up Man

Wang Huan crouched low, stepping lightly onto the Floating Bridge. Firstly, he was worried about alerting the merfolk in the water, and secondly, it was too dark; if he didn't hunch over and reach out to feel his way, he feared he might misstep, fall into the water, and feed the fish...

The Thin Tall Guy followed closely behind. The sound of the water rushing in the night made both of them feel uneasy.

"Back in the day at Qingyang Park's artificial lake, I was known as the Sword of the Water. What kind of boat haven't I steered?"

The Thin Tall Guy swallowed hard. Listening to Wang Huan's proud tone, one might think his family owned a few yachts, but who knew he just drove sightseeing boats at the park...

The two of them crept under Building 16. As soon as they got close, they heard Wang Zeyu's earth-shattering snoring, and both let out a sigh of relief.

This guy was really dedicated to his shift! Was he risking his life to keep watch? He was sleeping so damn soundly!

"Huh? Where's the boat?!" Wang Huan rubbed his eyes, stretching his neck to scan the water surface back and forth...

The water surface was pitch black. Apart from the blurry reflections of the buildings and a few bamboo barbecue skewers drifting by from time to time, there wasn't even a trace of a boat...

"Big Brother... the boat is also black; maybe we didn't see it clearly?" The Thin Tall Guy also stretched his neck. The two of them were practically pressing their faces against the water to look for it.

"Impossible! I saw the boat's lights go out right here with my own eyes! There's no mistake!" Wang Huan was getting anxious. That kid couldn't have actually fallen asleep hugging the boat, right?

A boat that big, just disappeared like that?

The Thin Tall Guy had a sudden thought and blurted out, "Could the boat have sunk?"

Wang Huan was so angry he almost kicked him. "Do you think it's a rock? That's a competitive speedboat; that thing is foam wrapped in iron! Sunk, my ass!"

The two of them circled the small platform by the 6th Floor window like headless flies several times, but they couldn't find a shadow of the boat. Wang Huan felt so stifled!

He had intended to steal the boat so he could roam the water freely, scavenge for supplies, and show off—it would have been great...

But now, it felt like rushing excitedly to snatch a red envelope, only to open it and find a "Thank you for participating!"

How could a red envelope be empty? How could the boat just disappear?

Facing the empty water, Wang Huan felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. If he had found the boat, he could have forced it to start and driven it away; it was just a matter of disconnecting a couple of wires!

But now, without the boat, if that kid found out he had come over, he wouldn't have a good time!

The two of them turned around, crestfallen. Wang Huan froze. He reached out a finger and poked the Thin Tall Guy. "Tall Guy! Look, are there two shadows in front..."

The water platform on the 6th Floor of Building 16 was quite large; it was a "fishing platform" specifically built by Zhou Yan for the people in the building.

Therefore, the distance between Wang Huan's pair and Wu Yang and Li Meng was a good four or five meters.

The Thin Tall Guy looked over, and indeed! On the Floating Bridge in the distance of the platform, there really were two dark figures standing there!

One was tall and sturdy, the other thin and short. They stood side by side, effectively blocking the path back to Building 17! They looked just like a pair of fat and thin ascetic monks...

"Holy shit!" The Thin Tall Guy's legs went weak, and he immediately braced his hands against the wooden planks beneath him.

"There... there really are two people!" The Thin Tall Guy was so anxious that his tongue felt tied in knots.

Wang Huan's heart skipped a beat; he felt half dead with fear. But he had prepared his lines beforehand. He forced himself to stay calm and lowered his voice: "Brothers! It's me! Wang Huan from Building 17! I'm looking for Brother Zhou to discuss something! Don't be afraid!"

As he spoke, he lightly pinched the Thin Tall Guy's arm. This was the signal they had agreed upon before setting out! It meant to attack!

Wang Huan crouched low, reached out his hands, and slowly approached Wu Yang and Li Meng...

When he saw Li Meng's small stature, his face lit up. "This little thing, I can kick him to death with one foot! Tall Guy! Attack!"

Wang Huan roared and lunged at Li Meng. Wu Yang moved, slowly raising his arm. Wang Huan got closer and closer until he clearly saw the Type 191 assault rifle in Wu Yang's hands...

Wang Huan was instantly terrified out of his wits, almost wetting his pants! Only one thought remained in his mind: It's over! This time he had really walked right into the line of fire!

He instinctively raised his hands in surrender, his mouth faster than his brain! He had already shouted: "Don't! I surrender! I surrender! Brothers, spare me..."

Before the rest of the words could come out, he heard a clear metallic click from the other side! It was the sound of a trigger!

But the expected gunshot did not come; there was only the hollow echo of the mechanism... The situation became extremely awkward.

Wu Yang pulled the trigger again, finding there was still no reaction. He reloaded, but it felt strangely empty...

He removed the magazine and took a look... Great! He had indeed forgotten to load the bullets...

Wu Yang sighed, recalling the line Wang Zeyu often said to him: "Brother, when you handle things, I'm especially at ease! You always manage to screw it up!"

The despair on Wang Huan's face was instantly replaced by sudden surprise. "This idiot's gun has no bullets! Attack!"

The two of them gave a strange cry and lunged at Wu Yang from front and back! Wu Yang sidestepped, gripped the muzzle, and swung it with all his might towards Wang Huan's head...

Before Wang Huan passed out, he only had two thoughts: This doesn't seem like the right way to use a gun! Also, this kid's strength... is fucking massive!

Wang Huan wasn't small either, but after taking such a swing from Wu Yang, he flew backward to the other side... He collapsed onto the wooden planks, life or death unknown, causing the planks floating on the water to sway violently...

The Thin Tall Guy was a bit panicked, but not much. He believed that as long as he lied and blamed everything on Wang Huan, he shouldn't die...

Wu Yang didn't intend to ask questions. With a forward step, he approached the Thin Tall Guy and landed an uppercut on the Thin Tall Guy's chin!

With that single blow, the Thin Tall Guy was sent flying as if he had jumped up on the spot! Wu Yang jumped up with him and slammed his right elbow into the Thin Tall Guy's right temple.

The Thin Tall Guy's right eye instantly became bloodshot! Without even having time to utter his last words, he slumped powerlessly onto the Floating Bridge.

Big Brother said, if this person dared to come over, he had to be beaten to death! He was still alive! How could that be allowed?

He bent down and picked up the steel pipe that Big Brother had given him as a welcoming gift. He unscrewed the tip of the rod, revealing the dagger hidden inside. He raised the rod in his hand, aimed at Wang Huan's back, and was about to stab down!

"Stop!"

Li Meng had a good idea. Big Brother's ability was closely related to the merfolk. Although Zhuang Yan had arrived and could control merfolk, her personal energy was limited; she would be exhausted after controlling just a few.

How could they just kill such good "bait" now? "Catch him alive! Try to catch him alive! If you really can't, then kill him!"

Wu Yang nodded and walked towards Wang Huan's figure slumped on the ground. He reached out to grab him, and his hand was covered in something wet...

Wu Yang frowned and sniffed his hand lightly. A strong smell of blood...

He wiped his hand on Wang Huan's clothes, then dragged Wang Huan's leg and the Thin Tall Guy back to Building 16.

Wu Yang used the oversized iron chain that Wang Zeyu had once used to lock the fire door to tie Wang Huan up tight!

"What now? Should we call Big Brother?"

"I suggest you don't call him yet. If you call him now, he might just beat you up first when he comes down..." Li Meng shook his head, rejecting Wu Yang's proposal.

He's at home being all lovey-dovey, and you want to call him down? Is that something that can be paused?

"Your most important task right now is to hurry up and fill that damn rifle of yours with bullets, then wake Wang Zeyu up. We three will interrogate them first, so Big Brother doesn't have to interrogate them again tomorrow..."

Wang Zeyu was completely dazed from sleep. His eyes stared blankly at the two people, one prisoner, and one corpse in front of him... But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Li Meng was crouching on the side with a handgun, checking the Thin Tall Guy, who was lying on the floor with no breath. Wu Yang was gripping a thick iron chain, the other end of which was tied to a man's body, tied so tightly that the skin had changed color from the constriction...

"Are you two playing 'Forced Man-Lock' in the middle of the night?"
